Essentially as title states. Call me a negative sort of gent, but im happy our man moses hasnt played a game over there, less chance of him getting hurt and missing pre-season for the blue and golds. Good experince for him, and assuming he will get paid well enough for the experience as well?

  • Hopefully Moses is offended and pissed off about it

  • They travelled for free, not travelled for nothing. They would have got plenty of experience just being in the squad and got a free tour of the UK. The Australian jersey shouldn't be treated like an under 9's team where everyone has to get a go. The best team available should always be picked. 

    • Exactly. This is hardly a brutal call. The team is 2 from 2, why make changes just to give everyone a turn? That isn't how it works.

  • Oh well, Moses comes back fresh and has experience being around Munster and Cleary.

    • Yer, 💯 my thinking too!

    • X3, LB.

      Keep him in cotton wool.

    • He doesn't need experience, he is 30 years old and already at the top of his game.

      We just don't need him to get injured.

      • But he has not been in as many big games and moments as Cleary and Munster. Who between have 6 premiership rings. Every bit helps. A lot players at 30 admit they are still learning things about the game.

        • Well he doesn't seem overrawed by the SOO and that's the biggest test in our game. Playing against the elite at the highest level. Playing against the Poms ain't teaching him anything apart from the risk of injury.

          If anything, Moses has outshined Cleary and Munster as well as other halves in those origin games - at least every time he's been selected....

  • He did play a warm-up game, but agree with Randy, this should help his desire to be better than Cleary. Sterlo did that with Mortimer and Kenny with Lewis. If he stays fit, we should hopefully see a brilliant season from Moses.
